I think CG took photo from this red dot(not sure)

3 red circles are the residential and yellow rectangular is for that twin towers.

^Yes that actually looks more likely. That little 2 storey building in the CG's picture might be the construction site office.

IU is right as to where I took the pic from and yes those are site offices inside.There was some function inside, looked like something for prospective customers

Ok coolguyz
Is that the white patches on the mill where yellow rectangle is placed indicates the demolishing process of the mill ?

Nice find IU. The Phoenix project is almost complete. They are now working on the entrance ramp and spurcing up the area.BTW thats a highly congested area.All the commercial projects on the LBS marg around ghatkopar are gonna be heavily used by people by western suburbs once metro gets completed. Currently BEST's AC route 302 gets packed any time of day as it travels the entire length of LBS marg connecting western and eastern suburbs

The project is located near the Mahalakshmi railway station (West) and stretches till Mumbai Central (West). This project is an URS (Urban Renewal Scheme) and is being executed under the PPP model. This project requires rehabilitation of slum dwellers and BMC workers, reinstallation of underground pipes and revamping the whole area.

Ackruti will require rehabilitation of about 4,000 families (including BMC staff quarters and slum dwellers) in 15 buildings of 18 stories. In consideration, Ackruti will get free sale component of ~1.9 mn sq.ft. The project is already under execution and work on the rehabilitation building is being carried out.

The project is divided into five phases:

• Phase I: Construction of five rehabilitation buildings by February 2011
• Phase II: Construction of five rehabilitation buildings by February 2012
•Phase III: Realignment of storm water drainage pipes, drinking water pipes,and sewer drainage pipes. Construction will happen along with Phase II
•Phase IV: Sale component to start. Bookings may start before construction
•Phase V: Construction of five rehabilitation buildings and few superior BMC staff quarters. Construction will happen along with sale component.

Tata Power to invest Rs 1,000-cr to lay cables in Mumbai

http://www.hindustantimes.com/Tata-Power-to-invest-Rs-1-000-cr-to-lay-cables-in-Mumbai/Article1-737387.aspx

The country's largest private power generation company Tata Power plans to invest around Rs 1,000 crore over the next three years for laying its own cable network in the metropolis for distributing power, a senior company official has said here. "We will be investing around Rs 1,000 crore


over the next three years to lay our own distribution network in Mumbai for supplying power to our customers," TPC executive director Sankaranarayanan Padmanabhan told reporters late yesterday after the company's AGM.
At present, TPC serves 8 lakh customers using the wire networkof BEST and Reliance Infrastructure to distribute electricity in the city and the suburbs, respectively. TPC also has its own network in certain parts of the metropolis.

TPC is charged a fee, called wheeling charges for using distributing power through the RelInfra and BEST network, which the company then recovers from its consumers.

"Law allows wheeling and permits us to use the network of Reliance to distribute electricity in the suburbs. Before the Supreme Court order, we were not allowed to lay parallel network. But now we have rolled out a plan to lay our own network. We have put up a proposal to the MERC," he said.

In 2008, the SC had allowed TPC to supply electricity to retail consumers having a requirement of 1,000kv or less, in Mumbai.

Meanwhile, in a recent order of the state electricity regulator, the regulator MERC had granted RInfra licence to distribute electricity in the suburbs for 25 years as the company's licence was expiring on August 15.

The MERC had rejected the proposals of four other bidders, including Torrent Power, Lanco Infrastructure, MSEDCL and Indiabulls, saying they did not have their own networks in place and in "public interest" it granted Rinfra the licence.

Some confirmation on the design of the IndiaBulls' Sky towers from someone's LinkedIn profile (http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=60044776&authType=OUT_OF_NETWORK&authToken=wb5T&locale=en_US&srchid=1f23664a-bd67-4121-9cd1-5a6284ae01c6-0&srchindex=1&srchtotal=9&goback=%2Efps_PBCK_indiabulls+sky_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*2_*1_Y_*1_*1_*1_false_1_R_true_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2&pvs=ps&trk=pp_profile_name_link)


Sky Towers consists of four high rises - Sky, Sky Forest (Twin Towers) and SKY Suites, 257 to 300+ meters height, under construction in Mumbai, India with area of about 8 million sq. ft. Significant Construction Challenges are faced due to the population density in down town Mumbai, design changes during construction, functional office complexes in the compound and the recent introduction into the Mumbai market of automated formwork systems and other equipments. Flat PT slab was selected for speed of construction and economy. ACS (Automatic Climbing System) for core walls proceeding method is adopted to reduce the construction time. Climbing platform SCP and Automatic climbing formwork are used based on core geometry and predetermined construction sequence. Generic panel slab formwork with drop heads is used for flexibility to adopt different geometry, early stripping and crane independent faster construction. Guided climbing formwork is used for few peripheral walls. MEVA-ALUFIX panels are used for columns and other walls. Equipment has been planned after studying the towers’ geometry and site logistics. Eight hoists are being installed in phases. Four high performance pumps are used for the initial 150m height and above 150m four high pressure pumps are planned along with standby. Seven self climbing concrete placer booms are being erected in phases. Design changes influenced the selection and placement of equipments. Variable storey height was a challenge to optimize and synchronize climbing sequence of ACS, Tower Cranes and Placer booms. Erection of equipments was challenging due to space constraints, the fast track construction schedule and the densely populated area. High performance concrete and temperature control concrete is made available through in-house plants and other grades (M40, Lean concrete) are sourced from outside. Design mix keeps on changing during construction due to the variability in raw materials.


That means the design on Hafeez Contractor's website is not the current design:

Just when I thought this project disappeared you dig this out. Great to see it alive. And just for the heck of it, some more articles from last year with some info -

Yet another tower coming up.

64-storey tower to replace Dalal Estate (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/64-storey-tower-to-replace-Dalal-Estate/articleshow/6160873.cms)

MUMBAI: One of the oldest and largest residential complexes in south Mumbai is all set for a makeover.

Dalal Estate, the more than seven-decade-old landmark residential enclave along the Mumbai Central bridge, will be demolished later this year to make way for a 64-storey skyscraper, TOI has learnt. The project is expected to be completed within four years.

The estate, comprising 20 low-rise buildings constructed way back in 1935, has over 300 tenants—majority of them occupying flats—as well as a plethora of shops, including a beer bar and wine shop run by the son of a former Mumbai police commissioner. In its earlier years, the complex was a stronghold of Parsis, until other communities started moving in about two decades ago.

According to developer Nathani Parekh Constructions, which has the mandate to execute this Rs-300 crore project, the tenants will be shifted to temporary accommodations from October 1 and demolition work will start soon after. The little-over-an acre plot will be used to set up a single tower to house the existing residents on the lower floors free of cost, while the upper floors will be sold at the market rate.

It will be one of the largest redevelopment ventures involving pre-1940 buildings in the island city under Development Control Rule 33 (7), which pertains to the redevelopment of old and dilapidated buildings. "We have already received consent from 95% of the tenants. It has taken us four years to achieve this," said Hamid Nathani, managing director of Nathani Parekh Constructions.

According to the plans chalked out by the developer, the first two floors will be used for commercial use and the third to seventh floors for parking. The eighth floor will have a garden area. The existing tenants will be accommodated between the ninth and the 38th floors. As many as 100 flats between the 39th and 64 floors will be sold by the builder at the market price.

Currently, the residents occupy flats, which range between 400 sq ft and 1,500 sq ft in size. The developer has agreed to give an equivalent area to each tenant in the new tower. Besides, the tenants will also get a corpus of Rs 5 crore and a bank guarantee of Rs 25 crore in case something goes wrong with the project.

For decades, the mass of buildings is virtually the first sight that greets migrants who arrive from the north and the west at the Mumbai Central station, which is just a stone’s throw away. It was constructed a few years after Bombay Central station became operational. According to old-timers, Dalal Estate was initially a Parsi enclave, set up by Jehangir Dalal, who subsequently sold it to an Ahmedabad-based trust. Today, its residents are cosmopolitan, mainly Muslims, Gujaratis and the remaining Parsis.


New towering landmark to come up in Mumbai central (http://www.accommodationtimes.com/real-estate-news/new-towering-landmark-to-come-up-in-mumbai-central/)

A new 64 storey tower is coming up near Mumbai Central bridge, in south Mumbai .

Dalal Estate, a more than seventy years old residential landmark of the area, comprising of 20 low rise residential buildings, shall get a complete make over now.

A 300 Cr. worth project shall be developed by Nathani Parekh constructions. The project would have first two floors for commercial use, next six floors for parking and the eighth floor for garden. From the ninth floor up to the 38th floor shall be the accommodation for almost 300, existing tenants. The floors above the 38th up to 64th shall be sold by the developers.

The project is about to start within next three months and the possession is expected after four years.

^Thanks for that. Anyways, Ackruti has roped in WSP consultants for the MEP and structural works of Ackruti Realms (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=82767021&postcount=6203). A little snippet form WSP's July magazine (http://content.yudu.com/A1svp3/wspsolutionsjuly2011/resources/5.htm):

http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/201/wspn.jpg

Opera Tower is a 60 floors high rise residential tower. We are working on MEP design. I am handling this project as a lead. Also i am designing plumbing and fire fighting services. In my team Sandesh is handling mechanical services (HVAC). Its one of its kind unique and beautiful project

^Since the project is in the vicinity of the Opera House, he's calling it by that name.

...and from the architects website, a little info on the facade (http://www.woodsbagot.com/en/Pages/Newsletter_MakingFootprintsinIndia.aspx):

Some of Woods Bagot’s recent projects in India include: A dynamic residential tower project in Mumbai that aspires to define the meaning of luxury in the Indian residential market for the decades ahead. Located in the heart of what is perhaps the diamond and jewel capital of the world, its form echos this contextually relevant gem-based theme. The dramatic faceted facade conjures imagery of cut sapphires and diamonds and likewise, will constantly shine and reflect light in changing ways both day and night. The tower will comprise luxury residences, boasting features such as double height living and terrace spaces, private pools and gyms, and grand master bedroom suites, all with uninterrupted views over the Arabian Sea.

I had a word with someone familiar with the Sky towers and got updated with the planned height figures in meters. I've added them to their respective threads. The design for Suites and Forest hasn't been finalized yet and none of the designs we have reflect it. Sky forest will have twin towers with the smaller tower being scaled up by Hafeez Contractor to match its taller counterpart. Once we have official confirmation, I'll update that on its thread title.

^^Now I am curious to see if it will look even much better...hopefully.

I think Hafeez helped Callison while designing that project and so that is really not "claiming credit". Another example is 23 Marina in Dubai, he did some work with the architects of that tower.

Well, he has "copyright Hafeez Contractor" posted on Callison's renderings. I have a image of the originals with "Indiabulls" and "Callison" logos on them. How do I post them?

Keeping in mind an extended surge in demand, Four Seasons is putting up two new ballrooms in the property. But perhaps the biggest statement of a rebound in its fortunes comes from the fact that the owners (Delhi’s Jatia family) are planning a huge expansion in the same area.

The 33-storey hotel will soon be dwarfed by a tower that will be two and a half times taller – 84 storeys. It might sport an Aer bar similar to the one present in the current structure, which is also India’s first rooftop bar. The financial details, including the investment for the new hotel, are being finalised. While construction of the two new ballrooms will begin this month, the new skyscraper, which will have office space, service apartments, guest rooms, restaurants and Four Seasons-branded residences, is in the design stage and will be finalised by the end of this year.

Thank you 101
Will this second tower reach 300m mark ?

Isn't what you posted above about the same tower?

If so it says it will exceed 320m.

Fantastic news!

That's going to be quite a cluster, with more room to build yet

and not a single road thats wider than 30 feet anywhere near these lots :lol:

That road is like the size of a path and there will be so many supertalls coming up on it.

But that project sounds good, hope all goes to plan.

There is also a brief coverage about Lodha project in wadla(page 30) .......they are proposing 10 towers each with 63 floors......along with 47 flr commercial tower...

Yup, we know about those 10 towers and the Lodha Project. Check here (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=83007872#post83007872) :)

@101
Yes, thats the decision taken by SEAC on four seasons project

Is this the same bombay dyeing's wadala project where CG took the photos ?

I think instead of 86 floors they have wrongly typed as 26 parking floors (just my guess) in the underlined part

26 parking floors? :lol:

Yes, that is not right. They probably did mean 82fl or possibly higher judging from the number of flats?

Correct me if i am wrong

Red circle: building with three wings (B+G+9 parking floors + club house + 86)

That is not the rehab tower in the yellow circle, it looks 60 floors or above in the newer render. Not to mention it looks too fancy for a rehab building which are normally a concrete low rise painted white or beige. It could be another commercial tower judging by the glass facade.

here's the latest decision
this might settle to 200m

http://envis.maharashtra.gov.in/envis_data/files/43MoM_SEAC.pdf
at page 11
Decision: In the last meeting it was pointed out to the project proponent that the
clearance from the aviation authorities for the very tall structure exceeding 320m in
height was essential before the project could be considered for EC as the approved
height will have effect on various parameters. The proponent stated that they had
clearance for 200m height and further clearance was awaited. They were informed that
it would be desirable either to wait for the final clearance or to propose the project with
200m height at this stage and seek revision of EC after final clearance was received.
Many other points were also raised for compliance by the proponent.
In the meeting the project proponent still requested for clearance for the ultimate height
of 320m which they are quite confident of getting from the aviation authorities. Many of
the other points raised in the last meeting were complied with. The project proponent
was then once again requested to recast their present proposal based on the height
clearance they obtained from the Airport Authority of India. Later vide on 19
th
April, they
submitted the recast project (for the height for which they have obtained clearance). A
copy of the letter from Airport Authority of India giving clearance for 186.17m AGL or
198.67m (AMSL) has also been enclosed. The main features of the recast project are:
FSI construction: 36,142 sq.m. Total construction (including non-FSI construction):
80,155 sq.m. Building configuration: 3B+G+35 upper floors. No. of rooms: 117. No. of
floors for hotel: 18. No. of floors for commercial use: 12. Other floors: 4. Basement: 3.

Mostly the supertalls. Now we know how to get good shots of the World One and Minerva sites thanks to Coolguyz :)

But just get updates on the main projects such as Oasis, World One, Raheja Platinum, Namaste Tower etc, if you can. Also could you try checking the sites of projects like Shreepati Gardens and Shreepati Estate.

Banking in on the Ganesh festival, many city developers have given donations to local mandals for advertisement hoardings so that they get an opportunity to redevelop old, dilapidated buildings.
There are 16,000-odd old buildings in the city.

“As land is not available, old buildings are the only option before developers to undertake housing projects. Developers are using the festival as an occasion to build trust with residents and crack deals,” said Narendra Dahibavkar, president, Sarvajanik Ganeshotav Samanvay Samiti.

Paras Gundecha, president of the Maharashtra Chambers of Housing Industry, said displaying hoardings at prominent mandals helps promote themselves. “The mandals, in return, get donations,” he said.

Mayur Shah, MD of Marathon Developers, said: “It is win-win situation for both the developers and mandals.”

Last year, Shreepati-DB Realty, HDIL, SD Corporation, Vignaharta Developers andMangalmurti Developers had displayed hoardings with offers for redevelopment of the 34-acre of Abhyudaya Nagar at Kalachowkie.

“The hoardings helped us compare the offers given by various developers and shortlist the right one. It was open procedure,” said a resident of Abhyudaya Nagar.

This seems like the best way to renew Mumbai's skyline without screwing up the green areas.....Doing two things at one, removing ugly ones and possibly build good looking buildings at the same time...

Does anybody know if this will work out...

Awesome find Deekshith.Will become tallest building outside south mumbai.

Some earlier news on land purchase of suntech city project

Sunteck Realty buys land in Mumbai suburb for Rs150 cr

Sunteck Realty Ltd, which is k on a land acquisition streak, has bought a 6-acre plot for Rs150 crore in Goregaon, a Mumbai suburb, and is in the process of buying 2 acres more adjoining the property for a single, mixed-development project.

The firm, which is developing nearly 70% of its projects with the Ajay Piramal group through their joint venture Piramal Sunteck Realty Pvt. Ltd, concluded the transaction recently after a six-month-long negotiation. The deal was struck through Sunteck's subsidiary Skystar Buildcon Pvt. Ltd, said man- aging director Kamal Khetan.

“Sunteck bought the land at a good price because land rates in the area range from Rs35 crore to Rs45 crore an acre,“ said Akshaya Kumar, chief executive, Parklane Property Advisors. “But the soaring prices are not a good indication because it means that the market is headed towards a correction again,“ Kumar added.

Land prices in Mumbai are nearing an 18-month high and big-ticket transactions are on a roll, analysts said.

Khetan said Sunteck Realty will continue looking for land acquisitions at reasonable prices.

In May, Sunteck had bid Rs3,465 crore for a similar 6.1-acre plot in Wadala, Mumbai, closer to downtown than Goregaon. The property, which gains from higher con- struction rights permitted in that area, eventually went to Lodha Developers Ltd for Rs4,050 crore.

Sunteck Realty plans to market the Goregaon project as Sunteck City. The project will have two residential towers and a smaller commercial- cum-retail complex, said a person close to the development, who didn't want to be identified.

“The good part of this buy is that there is good demand for properties in the area, particularly from the television and information technology industries,“ said Ashutosh Limaye, strategic adviser, Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj, a property advisory.

The Goregaon purchase, too, offers the advantage of a higher floor space index (FSI), he added. A higher FSI allows builders to construct more floors.

Sunteck Realty, eyeing multiple land acquisitions in 2010-11, is among the top five developers in the fray for the Borosil Glass factory land in Marol, Mumbai, pegged at Rs800-900 crore.

It is also eyeing a cotton textile mill in Mumbai, which is on the block, for Rs900-1,000 crore, said Khetan.

Sunteck raised Rs158 crore by selling shares to institution- al investors in 2009 and re- ceived a Rs105 crore investment from Kotak Realty Fund for a residential project in the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) earlier this year.

In 2008, the Piramal Sunteck joint venture bought two plots of land from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority in BKC at a steep price of Rs3.5 lakh per sq. m.

Don't worry savz, all projects will pick up speed after the monsoon

Maybe next time we can create a route map so that maximum number of projects are covered? If Savz had the time, a lot more pictures could have been taken of projects barely half a km away from the sites he visited. Namaste tower, shangri-la are just some of them.

btw that tower which houses kuoni's head office is on Urmi Estate. Couldn't dig out the name though.

That kuoni building is currently stands at 25 floors...... One can see the rebars for the 26th floor........ But there is no progress on this building from Aug 1st week

Yups deeksh..seems like it is a much taller building that what i anticipated. :-) IU, also tell me wht other buildings need to be covered and how do i get a full pic of the site from a place which is safe from.

Today, i wouldnt be venturing out as idnt hav any meetings lined up other than the training in BKC.

Tmrw or dayafter i could so.

Thanks a heap for the updates Savz!

And about getting pics. I just usually go into any old building overlooking a construction site. No one usually cares if you walk up to the terrace (if it has one). Or you could take pics from a stairwell window.

Also that Kuoni looks like it could rise more. Maybe it will pass 30 floors or even more.

so 75 floors

thats a super tall right?

No. Probably between 260 to 290m.

iu, that looks like glaxo's plot. is this the new avatar for the oberoi project that was in limbo?

That's indeed the glaxo plot but it cannot be an upcoming/reincarnated Oberoi project since the BMC had cancelled the lease agreement they had with glaxo in Dec 2010. Also, ICICI had pulled out of the i-ven realty JV that they had formed with Oberoi so we can safely assume that the Skyz project has been written off completely.

Wow, that looks like a reincarnation of Callison's Signature Tower of the erstwhile Unitech Grande project.... literally the same rendering:

http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5229/60storiesnz9.jpg

I for one am glad to see its new avatar

...actually looking again at that rendering, the background is quite clearly Mumbai and not Noida. Obviously this building's been in the offing for a while. I wonder why Callison released it as a rendering of the Noida Grande Signature tower.

Exactly what I was going to say. I new that render looked familiar.

None the less, it's a pretty cool tower.

Foster + Partners' third confirmed project in Mumbai is Omkar's Worli project:

Indiareit invests Rs.200 crore in Omkar’s Mumbai luxury project (http://www.livemint.com/2011/09/04203444/Indiareit-invests-200-crore-i.html?atype=tp)

Ajay Piramal-backed Indiareit Fund Advisors Pvt. Ltd has invested Rs.200 crore in a Mumbai luxury residential project being developed by Omkar Realtors and Developers Pvt. Ltd.

This is the first time Mumbai-based Omkar has raised money from a private equity (PE) fund. The company will use some of this capital for other project plans too, said Babulal Varma, managing director of Omkar.

Indiareit has made the investment from the Rs.930 crore Domestic Fund IV. Half of this corpus has been deployed, managing director and chief executive Ramesh Jogani said.

Located in south Mumbai’s upmarket Worli locality, Omkar’s slum redevelopment project will have two 60-storey residential towers and an office building. It has been designed by London-based architecture firm Foster+Partners and is part of the 10 million sq. ft area the realty firm is developing.

In slum redevelopment projects, builders typically relocate slum dwellers to new housing units and develop and sell the rest of the area at the market price.
...


From the ET (http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-09-05/news/30115805_1_ramesh-jogani-pe-fund-project):
The project will have a total of over 1 million sq ft of free sale component for Omkar Realtors and involves rehabilitation of around 1,850 families. Of the free sale component, around 75% of space will be developed as two 60 storey luxury residential towers, while rest will be a commercial complex.

"Realisation from this project would be anywhere around Rs 4,000 crore over the next four years by when the entire project will be delivered," said Babulal Varma, managing director of Omkar Group.

Render on Omkar's website (http://omkarcorp.com/upcoming-res-worli.html) (posted many times before):
http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/8998/resworli.jpg

So the twins in the center would be the 60fl residential towers. Do you think that tall thin cylindrical building is the office building or just a part of the background?

Id guess its the office tower. Looks too prominent to be a background building. I expected the office tower to be much smaller than that however because its height wasnt mentioned in the article (which normally means its not as important or tall).

Thats what was confusing me. It looks really prominent in the render, but it looks about 80fl. There is rarely ever such tall office towers in Mumbai.

If it were ~80 floors tall that would make it the tallest comercial tower in mumbai?

By far the tallest, even in the country (outside of GIFT). Most are only 30 to 40 floors.

Currently Mumbai has a 22% vacancy rate in office space and the various new buildings in Lower Parel are bound to take it up. No developer is going to put his money on building a commercial skyscraper which will have no takers or very low lease rates.

If at all, the commercial tower shown above will probably be built at a later stage and hence not much details have been divulged.

Nice finds there! Surprised to see the location of Ace Links being the good ol' Nariman Point. In the recent past whatever new projects were announced all turned out to be duds but it looks like work on this has started.

Indian Express says (http://www.indianexpress.com/news/many-more-adarshlike-projects-in-city/760228/2) its a slum rehab project next to the Manora MLA hostel, so this seems to be location:

Thanks for finding out the location. Good to see for once a Nariman Point project actually getting off the ground.

Speaking of NP projects, do you have any idea whats happening with the Chapman Taylor tower which is several hundred meters away from the Ace Links tower site? When I went there last year the site was empty and the security guard would not give any information about the project.

Couldn't find anything apart from the press release related to the ground breaking that took place in January 2009. Someone will have to go down and checkout the site since finding pictures will not be easy.

The tower development was for the Income Tax department btw.

^Thanks anyway. Just hope that project happens someday. Too breathtaking to let it disappear like all other NP projects.

India's 2nd sea-bridge to come up in Mumbai

MUMBAI: India's second major bridge across the sea - the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) - has been accorded formal approval, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan said Thursday.

The MTHL, estimated to cost around Rs.10,000 crore, will connect Mumbai island with the mainland at Raigad district, adjoining the metropolis and shall be implemented by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).

The eight-lane MTHL would be the second sea-link in the country, after the five km long Rajiv Gandhi Bandra-Worli Sea Link, inaugurated two years ago.


"Easier and faster connectivity is crucial for the overall development of any region and the metropolitan region deserves the same thrust as much as the city of Mumbai," said Chavan.

Chavan, who is also the MMRDA chairman, added that the entire MMRDA area has been identified as "a growth centre and to give it its due recognition, we need to put in all the efforts as far as road connectivity is concerned".

"The MMRDA board formally accorded the implementation of MTHL project on public-private basis," an official from chief minister's office said shortly after the 129th board meeting. However, no time-frame for its completion has been announced.

The total length of the main cable-stayed bridge plus the approach viaduct and road portion of MTHL is expected to be nearly 22 km.

However, there is also a proposal to construct an additional 28-km-long road to connect it to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and add a railway line to the MTHL.

Officials said that MTHL is expected to serve as a catalyst of development of the city by promoting horizontal growth as against the vertical growth experienced over the past few years.

"Besides reducing congestion and pollution in Mumbai, MTHL will benefit the Mumbai Port Trust, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, CIDCO, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, several SEZs coming up in the area and the new international airport coming up near Panvel," an MMRDA official said.

The MTHL, considered the state government's most ambitious project after RGBWSL, will be a world-class infrastructure project.

There are two similar bridges, including the 36-km long Hangzhou Bay Bridge in China and the 26-km long King Fahd Causeway in Saudi Arabia.

I have a few updates taken today as well....

According to this naukri website (http://www.naukri2000.com/careers/display.resume.php3?key=nwvgxwun) that kuoni building is a 45 floor one (~175m)

This what IU told in one of his post here about that kuoni building.
btw that tower which houses kuoni's head office is on Urmi Estate. Couldn't dig out the name though.

Good digging Deek! At 45 floors this will be Mumbai's tallest office tower.

If both the towers are of 45 floors then it will make the skyline some more classy and dense

I think the name is Urmi Estate. That whats lot's of websites refer to it as.

Also many websites give kuoni address as 7th floor, tower A, urmi estate

The bottom floors are done apparently. SOTC Tours has there headquarters on the 8th floor of Tower A, Urmi Estate.

Is it the same land over which Mukesh Ambani was supposed to build the convention center?

Nope, it's a different project.

Some news on the convention center - RIL might tie up with Wadhwa to develop this one.

June 23: BKC convention centre may be reality soon (http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-06-23/mumbai/29693904_1_wadhwa-group-convention-centre-bkc)

MUMBAI: Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries is in advanced talks with Wadhwa Group to jointly develop the 17-acre Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) plot reserved for a convention-cum-commercial centre, property sources say.

Wadhwa Group, which has emerged as the frontrunner, has offered to buy equity in the project for close to Rs 1,200 crores from RIL. With a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 4 at BKC, the joint venture partners are expected to build a large convention center on that plot, measuring over 50 lakh sq ft of developable area. The rest is expected to be developed into a commercial complex by the two partners, which includes the RIL's headquarters and a hotel. This could be the second real estate deal between RIL and Wadhwa Developers in 2010 wherein the companies entered into a Rs 1,000 crore deal over another BKC project. (The C-66 project)

Wadhwa spokespersons refused to comment.

Sources say RIL was earlier in no hurry to start construction as the petition by the Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communications & Infrastructure Ltd is pending in court. RCIL has challenged the MMRDA's decision to grant additional space to RIL after the tender (for the plot) was granted. But, four years have passed since it purchased the convention cum exhibition plot and the deadline set by the MMRDA for the convention centre to be operational expires in two months.

"It is unlikely that the MMRDA will penalize RIL for the delay, but RIL is keen to close the chapter as it is affecting its image," said a source.

Meanwhile, the MMRDA is yet to decide on RIL's request to refund Rs 696 crore it paid for the additional space of 72,500 sq mt for the plot.

@Everyone - What are your thoughts on creating a new thread to track all of the BKC's nifty looking buildings?


yea it will be nice to see BKC as it is one of d best areas in Mumbai rather very much different dan other business districts in mumbai

^^ Is it just me or Raptakos office looks like a rehash of Antilia with glass cladding.

Amazing IU! Doing a great job discovering all these new projects not only in Mumbai but all over the country.

Anyway, dissapointing that the tower at Phoenix Mills was redesigned, the original plan was more creative. New one is just bland.

Also, thanks for finding the renders of the Raptakos Office. But are you sure it will be 160m? Raheja Legend is 167m and this one looks much shorter.

The height can be anybody's guess at this moment. It looks comparable to legend in the last image.

Let's put it at a conservative 150 meters.

Yep, we will just have to wait and see. Any idea about the floor count? When I asked one of the workers at the site last year, he said it would be 20 floors tall. I guess thats not true.

Many workers don't know jack about the project they're working on or maybe they're instructed to play down the number.

It looks like 33 floors.

Thanks for the information on many projects IU :cheers::cheers:

Yeah thanks for these updates IU.

I love the Raptakos Office in Worli & vey much like Antilia.

Isn't the Phoenix Mills area already congested without having another resi tower?

Awesome updates IU, this time i come to Mum will get an updated pic of site prep for Raptakos office....if tht whole road has a good no of supertalls or failly tall buildings along that whole stretch would look like sheik zayed road in dubai..but we cannot forsee such a road anywhere in Mumbai, we would need supertalls on both sides of a stretch, never know if senapati bapat road could surpass that.

Nice to see some nice designs... nice work IU :cheers:

^^There are probably no buildings with trees on the top right now in India....But I love the idea of trees in buildings, it blends in well.

No.

those tall trees are hazards at that height. A heavy branch will easily fall off in monsoon or heavy winds killing pedastrians easily.

These things should be looked at before putting tall trees at that height. having a nice lawn is another story all together.

^^Thats a very good thought. I haven't thought about that. Unless they find a way to keep it intact. Tall trees are unnecessary, but giant shrubs are not bad.

+1..
Also with trees another very important thing is the roots. Over the years the roots will keep growing and might actually weaken the flooring as they push and try to make more space. This was infact encountered by the townhouse complex I live in. The courtyard had trees (not very big ones may I add as the branches kept getting pruned as they grew) and right below it is the basement parking. Over the years the roots of these trees had grown and last year city officials asked the trees to be removed and the entire basement roof had to be broken down and rebuilt as it had been weaked by the roots over the years. Though honestly to the naked eye nothing looked wrong.

^^I am pretty sure the Engineers know their way around...Besides what is the point of appointing so many Engineers to build a structure, when they don't take the above issues mentioned into account.

How much would property in Byculla cost?

^^^^^^

Yeah, if you have to ask, ... you can't afford it already :ohno: , so sorry.

It's actually 34 floors not 50.

Sweet

It's actually 34 floors not 50.

Add 15 floors of parking, ground floor and also spire equivalent to 3 floors....ultimately you will get around 50 floors :)

Maybe, but I think they might have scaled it down, because the website used to say it is a 50 floor tower.

Oh ... Ok.

Whatever the height, i still think its a good looking tower.

Aquino, prabhadevi.
30 floors
Short but good looking building

Can anyone start new thread 4 Radisson Hotel...

It's actually 34 floors not 50.

I think they've just reworded their project description - even the website URL (http://www.rohanlifescapes.com/altimo_home.html) has changed a bit. Specifically : Luxuries or 1 apartment on each of the 34 floors. Looks like they've discounted Parking Garage from the words - which should keep the standard height around 50.

:doh:

No I mean there was 50 residential floors.

Responding to an email query sent to the Four Seasons Mumbai, the hotel spokesperson said, “The future developments for Four Seasons remain the same as before. In fact, the Mumbai hotel will have an additional tower in Phase 2, housing residential apartments, a gourmet restaurant, ballroom and high-end retail space. As for Goa, we are looking for a property but do not have any specific details yet.”

^^
Four seasons group originally proposed a phase 2 building at around 320m....... but they need to get NOC from aviation authority to build a tower more than 320m in that region( lower parel)........ As of now they have got EC for upto 186m...... they can now start construction on their plot and meanwhile they can approach aviation authority to build it as per the original proposal.
This decision is taken on sept 15th 2011

another supertall is great news. Its pretty hard to tell from render, but it doesnt really look very nice does it? I would prefer a shorter good looking project than a tall ugly one tbh.

The Tech &finance centre looks awesome. Just wish it were in a more prominant location as stated by Savz.
@above:
So the twin towers in the renders are actually taller than the single building shown.

1 Simple Question:

Someone pls. to explain the logic of small to medium buildings right beside towering towers.
These small to medium dwellers ... can't they see the writing on the wall. Obviously, it'a a matter of time. And the infra. will follow like is normal everywhere. If so, then aamchii ... and this thread, are in for 1 hell of a time.

I mean I'm sure everyone noticed how a 7 storey building co-exists right nest to a 28 storey tower. So what gives, shouldn't the guys in the 7 storey bldg. be thinking, heck, lets quadruple our money at least while the sun is shining. What if some andolan against sun shading comes up tomorrow, specially by the usual shady types. Meanwhile :

Your a few years late. Those are two designs that were rejected I think back in 2009. This is the design that was chosen and is well under construction -

Why is that the biggest of projects gets through tonnes of shit....:ohno:
If it was finance, it is understandable, but its because of corruption.

^^ I know right. Its really annoying. I would give almost anything to see this building completed, but its such a shame that the level of corruption cripples almost every big project.
